Joseph Turner

Our son was dedicated to the Lord yesterday...What a very touching celebration.I cryed as I thought of his Liberian mom and how great it would be if she couldsee the remarkable changes in her son.I wore the necklace she gave me as a symbolof her love for him. Everyday is full of first for him.I'm just thankful that I get to share in those first.He LOVES me and there is no greater feeling..He is a VERY loving child.. Someone once told me"Joesph's greatest weakness(his heart)God will use to be his greatest blessing" I believe this true..He has a heart forour family. He has a heart for anyone who is crying..He has someof the most loving qualities in a child his age I have ever seenand I have 5 other kids before him....So for what ever reason God has set himapart in more than one way..I'm excited to see where this Heart of histakes him......and I'm thankful I'm on the journey with him..

P.s. My friend Kathy made these wonderful cakes and cookies for thereception..She is awesome go take a look at her blog at http://highergroundtoday.blogspot.com/

I am beyond thrilled that I found your blog. I cant believe it took me so long. I had to go back-all the way back to when you were in Africa. It seems like so long ago. All I can say is wow! How different JO looks compared to when I saw him in Liberia in August. He is doing great. And congratulations on the new baby.

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day, I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."
